Eclectic Gallery Wall

Perhaps one of my biggest foes in my sweet little rental house is one wall. One big, huge wall begging for some character and love.

It’s been empty for so long because I didn’t have the perfect art to hang there. Rather than hang an unwanted placeholder, I waited until I had a gallery wall just like those I’ve been drooling over on my Pinterest.

Keep reading to how I used this inspiration to create something amazing in my own home!

What I love about all of my Pinterest inspiration photos is the diverse colors, frames, art, and mediums. Lucky for me, a family friend recently gave me a plethora of frames in different sizes and colors. With frames checked off my list, all I needed was the artwork! I knew that I wanted a decent variety of art, posters, pictures, and colors on my wall. Even better, I knew that I wanted this prominent wall in my home to represent its residents big and small. So I gathered photos of my pets, Batman and Harry Potter posters (David and my favorites, respectively), my framed cross-stitched Missouri, favorite paintings by a family friend, baseball paraphernalia, and a painting of my own even made the cut.

What I loved about my inspiration photos was that the art was not hung precisely. So rather than measure my frames and wall to hang things perfectly, I decided to go for it! No measuring!

To hang everything, I used a combination of nails and 3M velcro strips.

Before I knew it, everything was hung and I love it!

I even moved my DIY Chalkboard to the kitchen table to complete the low corner.

I absolutely love the character that this easy change brings to my home and I can’t wait to add more art to this wall over the years! What do you think of my awesome wall?
